The 45-year-old Australian star, Nicole Kodman, has dared to shoot bare back, with her arms folded over her chest, for the famous fashion photographer, Mario Testino.

Kidman appears in a short black skirt, with a gold belt, on the cover for V magazine. Testino says, "Beautiful, beautiful, You are so hot it is beyond! Look at your body! It is incredible!"

In another picture, Kidman wears a lingerie, draped in a red fur coat, with blonde hair. The actress who says, she finds it hard to balance between professional and personal life, was seen flaunting her fit figure, in this photo shoot.

Kidman said to a leading magazine, "I don't really make decisions. I go with the flow. If I were a strategically minded person, I think I would have a far different career. But I would be more outlandish if I could. A lot of times you just don't get the chance. I just don't want to miss anything, and I don't want them to go 'Where's my mom?' So I'm working through that.”

Kidman who is married to singer Keith Urban, has two young children.
